I would like to replace the starter of my 914 (73 1.7L( but it sounds a little more difficult
than I wish to attempt, but I would be willing to switch out the solenoid if that is possible...Is it? Does the whole starter have to be removed. PLUS, arent there NEW starters available for 70 -75 bucks??? Right now -after discussing the starter problem about 6 weeks ago, I travel with a rubber mallet and dont travel often. The car will not start after it has warmed up, but starts without a problem when cold... Solenoid problem for sure -right- and I would like to simply replace the solenoid but I get the impression that Im dreaming. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

The starter is hella easy to remove and replace. Remove the wires, the one bolt on the lower side of the starter (under the car) and the bolt inside the engine compartment.

It would almost certainly be easier to remove the starter, and then the solenoid (if you decide to just replace it), than it would be to remove the solenoid fwith the starter in the car.

Yeah, it's really easy, I would recomend removing the air cleaner first , getting to the engine side bolt can really suck with out it.
